\n\tSaturday Night Live UK<\/a> cold opened with the British prime minister calling on some friends to deliver a stirring address to the nation.<\/p>\n

\n\tGeorge Fouracres\u2019s Keir Starmer took to the lectern, flanked by the Union Jack flag, but admitted he\u2019s \u201cnot inspiring\u201d as a leader. Reflecting on war in the Middle East entering its second month, Starmer said: \u201cWe\u2019re working at pace towards de-escalation, and the pace we are working at is leisurely.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe called on Olivia Colman (played by Emma Sidi), Peppa Pig (Annabel Marlow), and Harry Kane (Al Nash) to put more of a \u201cpep in your step.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tColman came on, clutching her Oscar. \u201cGosh, this is a bit sexy, isn\u2019t it?\u201d Sidi said. \u201cFlirting with Iran and playing with oil. Next thing you know, there\u2019s an energy shortage and the power is off, and we\u2019re snogging in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPeppa Pig chimed in with words of wisdom for \u201cDaddy Keir.\u201d \u201cLife is hell, but it doesn\u2019t last long, and soon the sadness will end,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
